The color cartridges are so old some of the colors have probably already dried out.

There is a use-by date on the hp cartridges, usually abt 2 yrs from the date you buy it.

If the cartridges are old that would be a reason it is not printing true to colour.
When is the last time you cleaned the printer heads on your printer? If the heads get dirty or smudged that also can cause the printer not to print true to colour.

Yep!!

Usually when the color or colors get real low you start getting erratic hues of colors.
